Hi, I’m Laura!

I’m an aspiring artist based in Birchington-on-Sea, England. I am a joyful vegan and I love cuddling with my adoted pupper Nemo as you can see! After leaving College in 2012 at the age of 21, I was brimming with excitement to start on the next artistic pursuit, which would have been a Foundation in Art and Design, I started that course at University and promptly left halfway through. Not a great start, but I’m working on it!

My artistic work is a direct result of loving animals — how could you not? Before I began on my creative journey, I worked with and studied animals. During that time I felt increasingly helpless to the breadth of animal suffering around me, be it insect torture at university (and yes, insects do feel pain) to owl neglect at sanctuaries. For a while my art reflected animal welfare issues and its horrors before I learnt that there was enough ugliness in the world, without my additions! So my art now consists of bright colours and detailings which sing out to celebrate these often overlooked earthlings.

If you like any of the work, it’s all for sale and reasonably priced. I believe art needs a good home where it will be loved and appreciated, not stored away to never see the light of day in my increasingly cramped studio. So please feel free to contact me if you’d like to purchase work or if you’d like to commission something special or if you’d just like to say “Hi”.

Questions, comments?

Hi, I am a self-taught watercolourist from England, I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

My work is devoted to the glorification of animals, being deprived their companionship in childhood has led me to become even more enchanted by their existence. I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do — don’t be a stranger, I’d love to hear from you.
